Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 67: History of New Civilization
"...Is it too bold to ask such a question?"
In the central conference room, a group of senior spacecraft executives are discussing this enrollment plan.
University, as a talent training and scientific research institution, is the top priority of a civilization.
If you want to restart civilization, it will definitely not work without technology and talents.
And the universities in the spacecraft have high authority, such as the allocation of laboratories, the allocation of resources, etc., all have priority. This batch of graduate students is not only for scientific research work, but a large part of it has to be trained in the direction of the spacecraft management.
After all, this spacecraft is too big. After most people enter the hibernation state, every awake graduate student must have the ability to be unique.
"What they should know, they have to know... However, some things have to be done step by step."
"I think it can be like this..."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Captain Ma sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't be limited to your inherent thinking..."
"We are already a new civilization. We have to make some new changes instead of continuing the old ways of the past and becoming the same civilization as the earth... Otherwise, what's the point of this trip to the stars?"
"Professor Lin, what do you think?"
A middle-aged man sitting next to Captain Horse, named Lin Fangzheng, was a mathematician three years ago and is currently a historian of new civilizations.
Mathematicians are the decision-making level of the entire civilization, which is a little unbelievable in any country. Mathematicians have a little say in economics at best, but in the new civilization here, it happened easily.
The New Civilization School has an important point of view. Past experience will have a profound impact on the ideology behind, so they are at a crucial point in history. If you make a mistake, it is even more difficult to correct it in the future.
Therefore, New Civilization History is a brand-new management discipline, trying to deduce the direction of civilization through mathematical modeling.
Professor Lin Fangzheng sighed and said: "The captain is right. We have only such a small population. We are in the infant stage of a civilization. It will be easier to make major changes. In Before the whole civilization is set, let’s think more and take more responsibility."
A person around asked: "How is the result of the calculation?"
Lin Fangzheng thought for a while, and said: "This time, there is a relatively high probability that it will be a positive event, which is the same as the inherent experience."
But the current historiography of the new civilization is still too incomplete. It is difficult to deduce the complicated historical trend. Only a few high probability possibilities can be estimated. "
"We need more sample information to complete this new subject as much as possible. Moreover, the current mathematical model is too rough, I think it is far from refined enough. We also need more talent to participate Among them..."
Everyone is lost in thought.
This time the interstellar immigration is a brand new social practice. It is different from the previous management model of socialism or capitalism. The entire civilization will take a completely different path.
The School of New Civilization was founded by the "Father of Nuclear Fusion" Professor Qi Yuanshan, and it has been more than a hundred years. Its core idea is to try to plan the entire civilization through the history of new civilizations, that is, "calculation". Future direction.
Therefore, the highest authority of the entire spacecraft is the Scientific Council. Of course, with the current computing power being far from sufficient, it still needs some previous political wisdom to manage the entire spacecraft.
For a civilization, science is equivalent to external power, and internal systems and cultural systems are the more important internal power. Therefore, their management team has a heavy task and a lot of things need to be re-established.
There are even many ultimate goals, which are completely different from the current earth civilization. For a while, they will be in a state of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one knows how to go.
Captain Ma sighed slightly.
The first batch of managements, their hibernation time is relatively small, and it is very likely that they will fade away in this vast star field, and they will not see the future mother star.
Therefore, we must also consider the cultivation of successors. In such a small society, if the top leaders are the first to degenerate and corrupt, this cultural phenomenon will spread to the bottom people at an alarming rate, and it will no longer be possible to correct them.
Therefore, the cultivation of successors is very important, and we must be careful.
He looked out the bleak window, feeling inexplicably worried, what is the end of the road is unknown.
How can we transition from the current system to a more perfect system is also unknown.
"Let’s do this for the time being, all the enrollment work will trouble everyone. The meeting is over!"
Everyone stood up and left the meeting room.
Before leaving, Captain Ma sorted out the various materials on the table, including some of the test papers.
The legend about aliens, the "Phoenix Light Incident", the true and false have long been dissipated in the vortex of history.
He didn't know whether the whole incident was true or false, just as a possibility.
Whether the alien civilization has visited the earth is actually very important, and it is regarded as an important proposition in the sociology of the universe.
If this incident is false, naturally there is nothing to say, just a rumor.
If this event is true, then...
In the boundless universe, an alien spacecraft traveled hundreds of thousands of light-years away ~IndoMTL.com~ and arrived on Earth without causing too many waves, and then left.
just left some human witnesses and various rumors.
What does it mean?
The whole process is a bit like a human driving a car through the African grasslands.
For a group of lions on the African grasslands that saw a car and pointed at them, human beings don’t care and would not pay attention to them, even if these lions are the strongest kings on the African grasslands.
There is no lack of matter in the universe. The development of science will inevitably become more and more difficult in the later stage. So what is lacking is information. Then, if the alien spacecraft really comes to the earth, why is there no communication with humans?
because it is not necessary.
In the 20th century, human beings did not even have controllable nuclear fusion, and did not have any decent technology at all.
Nuclear bomb? Aircraft carrier? Supersonic fighter?
Stop kidding, these are just toys for a spacecraft that can travel through light years.
Therefore, the human civilization at that time, in the eyes of alien civilizations, was probably just a mediocre civilization, without any communication meaning.
No matter how powerful the lion is, it is just one of the countless animals in the grassland. It is no different from elephants, baboons, hyenas, and ants on the ground.
Thinking of this, Captain Ma looked out of the window.
300 years have passed, and humanity has become countless times stronger than before, and has even gotten rid of the threat of energy, but it is very likely that it is still just a mediocre civilization.
a slightly stronger mediocre civilization
As for another question on the test paper, the debate between science and ethics...
He smiled slightly in his heart. If the ethics and morals of the past are not crushed, how can a stronger civilization come about?
